    Rifle Scopes Thread Error / Consistency

    Re: Thread Error / Consistency Since the erector tube that is being moved by the adjustment threads is spring-loaded, a properly designed and executed mechanism should not exhibit any relevant backlash.

    Rifle Scopes Question regarding mfg specs (elevation)

    Re: Question regarding mfg specs (elevation) Usually it's the total value, windage might be given as +/-, but that's pretty clear if it's stated like that. As to elevation restricting windage, I've never even seen that mentioned in a spec sheet at all, although it does seem to occur with...

    Re: Premier Heritage 3-15 tactical scope info Not meaning to spoil the fun, but what we call a sunshade on a scope is commonly referred to as a lens hood on a camera lens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_hood

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST Parallax MarkingsAccuracy?

    Re: Viper PST Parallax MarkingsAccuracy? Parallax numbers are as accurate as a BDC at best, meaning as soon atmospheric conditions change from the calibrated atmosphere, they are off. The air acts as a lens in the whole optical system from target to eye, and it changes its index of refraction...

    Rifle Scopes Explanation of Parallax

    Re: Explanation of Parallax Mouse, I'm afraid I can't really explain how the eyes with/without corrective glasses are interacting with the parallax setting, but the "correct" parallax setting (meaning the one that brings the target image and reticle into the same plane) should always be the...

    Rifle Scopes Explanation of Parallax

    Re: Explanation of Parallax When the parallax is not adjusted for the range in question, the target image is not in the same plane as the reticle. While this causes parallax errors when the eye is moved behind the scope like described in the manual, this is also the very definition of the...

    Rifle Scopes How does March compare to S&B?

    Re: How does March compare to S&B? Frank, my post wasn't directed at you at all, sorry if it came across that way. And I also wasn't going to air any dirty laundry, quite to the contrary. Personally, I think that "1 in 3 scopes broken"-claim is BS, exactly to what degree I don't know and...

    Rifle Scopes Reason for near-maxed out scope travel 0moa base?

    Re: Reason for near-maxed out scope travel 0moa base? It is not generally correct that maxing out elevation will limit windage travel, it depends on the internal design of the scope. It is possible to build the scope with a rectangular adjustment range so that the full specified windage...

    Re: Response from Premier Reticles ref: Liberty Optics Vipa, you are exactly right.

    Rifle Scopes Moa or Mil, which is easier to learn?

    Re: Moa or Mil, which is easier to learn? I think grasping the advantage of using the metric system together with mils is a mental leap for those used to the imperial system only comparable to that of a person that is for the first time presented with the concept of not converting mils or MOA...
